I wish to know the possibility of applying immunoglobulin therapy to treat existing infections or prevent new infection from occurring in aquatic organisms
Immunogloblin therapy is based on the generation of a specific antibody after several steps including immunization , the important step which requires the presence of an antigen ( the target) , it depends , it can be a : membrane marker, soluble molecule , infectious agent antigen ...etc.
Application of this antibody destined for therapy against a microrganisme causing an infection to aquatic organisms , depends on the complexcity of their immune system , they can react with antibody Fc region whish comes naturally from the animal used for the production of this antibody ...
It may be works if we avoid this reaction by the production of a nanoantibody ( it doesn't contain Fc region).
